METHOD FOR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A WLAN TERMINAL AND A HUMAN INTERFACE DEVICE - The exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and apparatuses corresponding to a WLAN terminal and a wireless human interface device (HID), for enabling communication between the WLAN terminal and HID. According to the method, the WLAN terminal can receive data frames directly from the HID and these frames are compliant with the WLAN standard protocol. The frames are received even if the WLAN terminal is associated with an AP and the HID does not support infrastructure mode.

MARKSMANSHIP TRAINING DEVICE - The present invention describes a marksmanship training simulator including, a weapon capable of firing a laser, a screen for projecting images including a background and a target thereon using a background projector for projecting a background scene and a target area projector for projecting a density of visible pixels on the screen such that the target image is at better than eye-limited resolution when viewed by the marksman through a and wherein the contrast ratio of the target image formed by both by the background and target area projector is substantially that of the target area projector. The screen reflects the laser and there is also a laser footprint detector directed to the target area wherein the density of the detector pixels for receiving the non-visible footprint and the intensity and size of the laser footprint is such that there is a predetermined accuracy of the detection of the location of the footprint.

FINE GRAIN SYNCHRONIZATION FOR DATABASE REPLAY - A method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for preserving data dependency during replay of database commands without strictly preserving a global ordering of the database commands is provided. A capture process captures a workload of database commands executed by a production system. The captured workload includes object identifiers that identify database objects that were referenced directly or indirectly during execution of the database commands by the production system. The captured workload also includes an indication of whether the database objects were potentially read or written during execution of the commands. The workload is processed to determine that an object accessed during execution of a command was previously modified during execution of one or more other commands. A replay process on a test database system prevents the command from being replayed until after the one or more other commands have been replayed to modify the object.

FILTERING WORKLOAD FOR DATABASE REPLAY - A method and apparatus for capturing database system workload and replaying that workload in a database system is provided. According to one aspect, in order to subject a test database system to the same workload to which the production database system actually would be subjected, a database server in the production system captures and records workload that the database server receives from external entities. This captured workload is processed. Processes external to a database server in the test database system send the processed workload to that database server. As a result, the test database system is subjected to the same workload to which the production database system originally was subjected. The foregoing technique permits a database administrator to determine how the production database system will fare if the difference that is present in the test database system is introduced into the production database system.

TRANSACTIONALLY CONSISTENT REPLAY OF APPLICATION WORKLOADS - A database system providing transactionally consistent replay of application workloads. In a database system, a method providing transactionally consistent replay of application workloads comprises the steps of: during a replay phase in which a plurality of application requests that were previously submitted to an application server system during a capture phase are being replayed, receiving, at a database server, a database request to execute a database command against a database. The database request specifies an application request identifier that identifies a particular application request of the plurality of application requests. The particular application request caused the database command to be executed previously during the capture phase. In response to receiving the database request, determining, based on the application request identifier in the database request, whether to delay execution of the database command at least until a particular replay-phase database transaction has been committed.

APPLICATION WORKLOAD CAPTURE AND REPLAY SYSTEM - An application workload capture and replay system with a transactionally consistent application workload replay feature is provided. More particularly, the feature includes capture-phase components for capturing and recording a real application workload submitted to a production web application system and includes replay-phase components for replaying the captured application workload against a test web application system in a transactionally consistent manner. The feature provides guarantees about the order of database transactions that are caused when the workload is replayed such that there is a consistency between the replay-phase order of the database transactions and the order of those transactions that occurred when the workload was captured. These consistency guarantees facilitate a faithful reproduction of database changes observed in the production web application system in the test web application system using a captured real application workload. Significantly, this faithful reproduction may be accomplished without having to create a synthetic application workload that approximates or emulates the transactional behavior of the real application workload. Instead, a real application workload may be used as or substantially as it is captured.

AUTOMATED DISCOVERY OF TEMPLATE PATTERNS BASED ON RECEIVED SERVER REQUESTS - Described herein are methods for determining patterns based on requests received by a server. Based on the determined patterns, insight into the types of requests received by the server can be gained. Additionally, performance statistics and query statistics can be aggregated in a useful way. For example, performance statistics may be summarized for each determined pattern. One technique for determining patterns includes determining a sequence of template identifiers identifying templates that correspond to sub-sequences of requests in a sequence of server requests. A model may be created based on the sequence of template identifiers. Based on the model, template patterns may be determined. Template patterns may further be grouped into pattern clusters.
